A member asked:

Whenever i drink alcohol my stomach feels warm. it does not hurt. is this normal or do i have gastritis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

That's a message!: If you pour alcohol over a cut on your skin, it burns, right? No surprise that if your stomach is inflamed, then pouring alcohol into it will make it burn too.This may be a wonderful time to curtail consumption. Sounds like an appropriate time as well to get medically evaluated.
